RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY
DENTAL BRIDGES
If you are missing a single tooth or multiple teeth in a row, we may recommend a dental bridge to restore your smile. A bridge is a fixed dental restoration, meaning it is non-removable. The dental bridge is anchored in place through the use of two dental crowns, which are custom made to fit your smile and are placed on the teeth or dental implants next to the space left by the missing tooth. These crowns hold the artificial tooth in place to restore your smile, ensuring that your restoration will not easily shift or come loose. It typically requires only two visits to our practice to complete a dental bridge. Dental bridges are designed to last for many years and to restore the function, beauty and health of your smile.
Our dentist may recommend a dental bridge to improve your smile by:
✔ Restoring your ability to speak, eat and chew normally
✔ Alleviating excess stress on the bite
✔ Improving the shape and volume of your face
✔ Replacing an unwanted removable partial denture
✔ Preventing the remaining natural teeth from moving out of position
✔ Enhancing the appearance of your smile

WE WILL HELP YOU DETERMINE WHETHER A CUSTOM DENTAL BRIDGE IS THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR RESTORING YOUR SMILE AFTER TOOTH LOSS. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE CALL OR VISIT US TODAY.
DENTAL CROWN
A dental crown, or cap, is a restoration that can be used for a number of purposes. One of the most common uses of a dental crown is to restore a tooth that is significantly damaged or decayed. The crown is custom made to fit over the entire tooth, starting at the gumline, in order to restore the tooth to its original shape and size. Dental crowns can be made of gold, porcelain or porcelain fused to metal; porcelain crowns are popular because they match the natural color and appearance of your teeth. Our dentist will help you determine which type of dental crown is right for your smile.
Your smile may benefit from a crown if a tooth is damaged or decayed to the point that a dental filling will not provide a successful restoration. Crowns can also be used for a number of other restorative and aesthetic purposes, including to:
✔ Protect a tooth following root canal treatment
✔ Anchor and attach a dental bridge
✔ Cover and complete a dental implant
✔ Enhance the beauty of your smile
✔ Improve a misshapen tooth
✔ Strengthen a tooth that is fractured or weak
✔ Support a large filling when little natural tooth structure remains

DENTURES & PARTIALS
Dentures are removable oral appliances used to replace multiple missing teeth. If you are missing some or all of your teeth, dentures might be just what you need to restore the function, beauty and health of your smile. There are two kinds of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures.
✔ A complete denture is used to replace all of the teeth in a full dental arch. We may suggest a complete denture to replace all of the teeth in one or both arches depending on your individual needs. Our dentist may suggest using a denture adhesive for improved stability.
✔ A partial denture is used if you are missing multiple teeth but have natural teeth remaining. A partial denture often includes a thin framework or clasps that attach to the natural teeth for a secure fit.
